CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Mr-Fusion Netflix has its share of undiscovered foreign offerings (YouTube also knows a thing or two about dark corners), but "Pingu" is worth the dice roll. I love the dialogue (even though I have no idea how they come up with that wonderful gibberish language) and the claymation has its own physically comedic charm. I'm a cynical adult and I can watch this with my kid any time of the day, which is not something I'd say often about children's TV. There's surprising entertainment value in hearing a clay penguin squeal, "Noot Noot!". Thirty years old, and it's still fresh.I love this stuff.8/10

Torgo_Approves Not much needs to be said, really. Pingu is a sweet, adorable little show which has shaped an entire generation of kids. The plot lines are simple, the characters very cute and likable, the claymation charming and the beaks ludicrously stretchable. The show's brilliance lies in its almost ridiculous, brain-comforting simplicity which the smallest child can enjoy. It is also impervious to soccer mums; they can't attack it because there's nothing to attack - they can't create gay rumours about the main character, for example (poor SpongeBob). Writing a twelve paragraph review about Pingu would be the ultimate exercise in futility. Pingu is what it is - sweet, simple, adorable, innocent, and utterly brilliant. 10 meeps out of 10.

bob the moo What is it about this little lump of clay that means he has been doing the rounds for about 20 years but is still popular with children without the need for updating or rebranding? Pingu is a mischievous little penguin that lives in the Antarctic where he plays with his friends and family. There is no dialogue apart from the distinctive sounds they make and the individual episodes are very short. Maybe it is the simple nature of the piece that means it works for young children (and students) but Pingu is enjoyable and simply effective.It is nicely comical in a physical way and, although not witty or clever, it is at least good clean fun that has no reason to aim for a cynical adult viewer as part of its presentation. It is a drawback that it doesn't really have any educational or developmental benefit to speak of, but then I suppose not everything does. The cheeky nature of the penguin may also not be to everyone's tastes as it is hardly that good an example for young children but it is entertaining nonetheless. Students seem to have latched onto it because of the weird noises and imaginative design but this is only in an ironic way and there isn't a lot here for adults.Overall then an OK series of physical comedy shorts for children. It doesn't have any real benefit developmentally or as an educational tool but it is quite fun and there isn't anything really wrong with that.

fuifuturum Pingu is a *very* refreshing break from the (many, many, many!) more mundane children's shows currently on the air. Pingu himself is an irreverent, irrepressible little fellow who relentlessly does his own thing (and often takes the heat from his parents for it). In fact, Pingu is so confident and independent that American audiences might have a hard time swallowing it.In addition to shrugging off parental objections to his activities, Pingu sometimes quarrels with his friends (I'm talking about rolling-around-in-the-snow, knock-down/drag-outs here), and is not afraid of a bit of "biological" humor.These things are, however, a part of the charm. If you are looking for good, edgy children's programming, Pingu is the way to go.Hey, everyone make nice by the end of the episode! Go on...check it out!
